IMPROVEMENT IN SASH-SUPPORTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,057, dated May 29, 1866.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD A. CAMPBELL..

of Williams Bridge, in the county of West-- chester and State of New York, have invented,

made, and applied to use a certain new and useful Improvementin Sash-Supporters 'and I do hereby declare:l the following to be a full,`

clear, and exact description ofthe said inven'- tion, reference bein g; had to the annexed drawings, making` part of this specification, Wherein- Figure lis a section of the sashes near the meeting-rails,showinglnyimproved supporters in place, andFig. 2 is a sectional plan of the casing and supporter.

Similar letters denote the same parts.

Sash-supporters have heretofore been made in the form ot' a double pawl upon the sash taking the easing, and the reverse, and calnshaped supporters have also been employed.

The nature of my said invention consists in lever sash-supporters formed with wide ends and thin body portions, thatare to be letinto re- I cesses in the side ot' the window-easing and secured by fulerum-screws.

'Ihe wide ends of such levers, taking, against the inner surfaces ofthe sashes, support the saine.

By this construction the supporter pressesthe Window-sash tightly against the outer portions of the slides in the casings, and sustains the same by friction at any point to which it may be raised, and thesupporter itself is a1- most entirely hid from view.
